Had a great dinner last Saturday evening: Did choose the 8 course menu with wine menu. Great food, great wine, good service, great ambiance.
Liked everything. Nothing to dislike only having to come home from it. Food is amazing, staff are attentive but not intrusive
There's only one word to describe the lunch I had here with a friend from the US - Exquisite! This is one of the best meals I have EVER had, and excellent value for money.
The castle is now a hotel, so only saw the grounds and outside of the castle. It is very pretty. I would love to spend the night there but it is very expensive.
We recently stayed at Amberley Castle as a treat for my Husband's Birthday. I admit I had another reason because when I was at High School, my House Team was Amberley Castle. Being interested in history, I was disappointed at that time because it wasn't open to Visitors. Did I feel let down when I got there? Certainly not. It went beyond my expectations. The accommodation was excellent and the Staff were so friendly and helpful, you were actually made to feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble. Some of the bedrooms are being refurnished and I was a little disappointed that the bathrooms were being modernised. It somehow didn't seem to fit the 900 year old history. However I can understand that there are some who like their modern day features and at least the bedrooms are keeping the tradition going and definitely don't look tired. I have to admit even I enjoyed the whirlpool bath. The furnishings are well within keeping the character and the bed was so comfortable we had a really good nights sleep! It is well worth walking around the gardens, which are beautifully kept and looking at other parts of the castle even though some are just ruins.The only slight disappointment was the cost of Dinner, it was very expensive although the menu looked inviting. I think this would put a lot of people off which is a shame because the Dining areas are beautiful. All in all, though it was one of the best places I've stayed at.
This is definitely the place for a special occasion. It just oozes atmosphere with ruined walls, port cullis, mullioned windows, suits of armour, flagstone floors and tastefully decorated rooms. The gardens are lovely and it is so relaxing to sit with a drink there. The staff are very efficient and attentive. The food is excellent.
For a special Sunday lunch Amberley Castle is a must. Attention to detail is superb, all the staff are friendly, efficient and on top of their game. Surroundings are luxurious but comfortable. Descriptions of the food are no indication of the great presentation. When we visited my three companions and I enjoyed every mouthful of our three course meal and couldn't fault it. Great to relax with a coffee in one of the cosy lounges after the meal.
This was our second stay at Amberley Castle and once again it doesn't disappoint; we loved the location, the feeling of being tucked away from the rest of the modern world. As a relatively small hotel the staff are very attentive and we must make special mention of the outstanding, young sommelier Alexander whose extensive knowledge and wine selection added to our dining experience. For a special occasion Amberley Castle is highly recommended.
Absolutely excellent surroundings and facilities. We had afternoon tea on a warm sunny day, it was idyllic and very good value.
We were staying locally and had been told there was a castle here. We accessed it via a rear/side footpath from the village and were amazed at the beautiful gardens, the castle remains and the outstanding hotel in the grounds with what appeared to also be outside self-contained rooms/apartments. It was a haven for wild birds and they even have a pea-hen in the grounds. What a stunning place to see! It also has a restaurant with tables oustide as too-well worth a visit.
